Two controversial issues, redistricting and the Bodie Hills, go before the Mono County Supervisors today and both can be viewed and participated in in Mammoth via videoconference as well as in Bridgeport, at the county courthouse, second floor, Supervisor's Chambers.

The Mammoth meeting room is in the Shogun mall, on the third floor, at the far south end of the building, on the left. It will be obvious when you get there, if you just follow the hallway almost all the way south to the end, and turn left.

A vote to support or not support a Congressional Bill to remove the Bodie Hills and other BLM wilderness study areas and roadless areas in the country from potential wilderness designation goes to the board of supervisors today, sometime after the noon four. The schedule can vary depending upon previous issues, but the agenda noted the time for this as is roughly around 2 p.m.

The board also takes up the issue of how to redistrict the county, based on three main options as recommended by a ten-person local redistrict committee. That public meeting is scheduled for 10:30 am today.
